Assault – Lacrosse's New Top Secret Weapon
Posted on: August 31, 2011
Well I guess it's not really a top secret but the STX Assault line of lacrosse gear is a new series of gear that is just as good as any secret weapon out there. If you have read any of my other lacrosse gear articles you know that I usually preach stretching your budget with inexpensive lacrosse gear. Today we are switching gears and talking about the best you can get for the money.
Let's face it… saving money is very important at the start up level but once a player commits to the sport you have just got to pony up a little more cash to get some gear that is made for players that excel at the game. In lacrosse high end is the norm and it's not that strange to find gloves, arm guards and shoulder pads that cost well over $100. The reason for this is that there is no shortage of players willing to spend that much money for the next best thing. In this humble writers opinion these players are some of the most important players for the sport. The money spent on high end product allows manufacturers to spend more money developing something better. Thus each year the technology behind lacrosse equipment moves forward.
So what do you get for the money? Let's take a look at theSTX Assault lacrosse gear line up. I'm not going to go into specifics for each model but rather cover the feature that the gloves, arm guards and shoulder pads share in common. It is this common feature that makes the line worth the money and I'll tell you why.
High Def is a term most of us guys have come to not only know but desire. High Def audio, video and all sorts of gadgets but in this case we're talking about High Def Polymer. The Assault line of gear features this technology that STX describes as the next generation of padding. This material is half the weight of other padding while being extremely protective. Lighter pads mean quicker players. The material will not soak up sweat or rain either. So the pads will start out light and stay light through the game. Not to mention the benefits of having pads that won't soak up all your nasty sweat.
That's the secret High Def Polymer and it's a secret that helps make theSTX Assault line of lacrosse pads top of the line. Of course all of the models in this series are made to the highest standards. You'll also get increased mobility, arm guards that won't slide off, gloves that offer incredible grip and comfort as well as shoulder pads that are super light, flexible and protective.
So bottom line is you do get what you pay for and on top of that you can be proud that not only did you get yourself the best the market has to offer but some of that hard earned money you spent will be going back in research and development so that even better technology can be developed.
